Page with dozens of Wikipedia symbols

[edit]

I once found a page that listed all of the various Wikipedia symbols. (Or maybe, they are HTML mark-up codes for symbols?) I can't seem to find it anymore. Can someone please provide the correct link? Thanks. For example, it would have an entry like this: {{checkmark}} ... and it would say "this code will produce a checkmark, such as this: ✓ ." It had dozens of these symbols ... like happy faces, sad faces, yes, no, maybe, awards, nominations, win, lose, tie, gold, silver, bronze, etc. Thanks. Joseph A.

Are you thinking of this List of discussion templates? nwatra (talk) 22:47, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
@Joseph A. Spadaro: There's also this, which might be useful for templates in general.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 22:49, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
... or else {{Done/See also}}?: Bhunacat10 (talk), 23:01, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
There is no page with all symbols. There are many specialized pages with some symbols. {{Smiley}} and {{Table cell templates}} have many of the items on your list. The latter is mostly for text and color, not symbols. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:03, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
@Joseph A. Spadaro:You may wish to start at the Unicode article. It links to many, many Unicode character set articles. -Arch dude (talk) 16:48, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, all. Those were exactly the pages that I was looking for. Thank you. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 20:55, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
